As the idea of going to the Philippines was brought up, I could feel the excitement in the air around the office. When the news of our destination hit the ears of our riders it was apparent that I was going to be disappointing a few guys with the bad news of, “The trip is full.”
The only rider I knew was going for sure was Daniel. What would a trip to the Philippines be if we didn’t take the only dude on the squad that is Filipino? I have traveled all over the globe with DL and he always has tons of fans that are excited to see him outside of Los Angeles. Manila and Cebu City were no different. The kids buzzed with excitement and DL really handled the demos like a true champ.
The only let down was the fact that DL would not eat Balut in his Motherland. Suck the juice and eat the bird!
It is always a pleasure to travel with Daniel, even if some of the native food scared him off (it did the same to me)...
